Perforate the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate built-up thatch and reach the grass roots, reducing soil compaction.

Pro Tips
Aerate during the growing season when grass can recover quickly—spring or early fall for cool-season grasses and late spring for warm-season grasses.
Allow soil plugs to decompose naturally to return nutrients to the lawn.
